Yes, we all can relate to that posts and everyone I know complains about software mentioned there, such as Skype, iTunes, Chrome, I might even add the fact that if you have 3 synced Apple devices near you a reminder pops on each one of them at the same time which shouldn't be so hard to avoid given that they're all connected to the same wifi. We live in this cloudy era, everyone speaks of clouds and sync and data everywhere but synchronization is the most broken thing of them all. There are a lot of silly problems with the software and hardware that we use everyday and most of these problems are noticed by us, the power users. It's like with the Twitter-ad-supported saga: the power users bitch about it, look for alternatives but the regular Joe sticks with it and he's very happy. I know a lot of people who don't see any problems with Skype or Outlook and are very happy with them. Today I was at the bank and the clerk wanted to print something and I had to literally wait there 20 minutes because the Adobe Reader was updating and some guy from IT was logged in remotely to make sure everything went fine with the update. She apologized telling me that "you know how it is with these computer programs nowdays" and that she was very happy with the old setup. I chuckled and thought of that Adobe Reader update meme[1] but deep inside I wept. [1] http://t.qkme.me/3qk2v4.jpg http://t.qkme.me/3qk2v4.jpg
